Meaningful Use Strategies

•Biggest issue – are you ‘going for it’ or not?•We recommend everyone apply for the Hardship Exemption – there is a broad exemption for LTPAC Medicine•The biggest MU hurdle remains reaching the CPOE ePrescribing hurdle •50% of all your prescriptions have to be recorded and transmitted electronically.•This is a burden because the rules are not set‐up for LTPAC work flows.•Largest LTC Pharmacies do not support ‘MU Friendly’ prescribing

Why MU is important for groups seeking Hardship Exemptions

•Highly Likely MU rules will Change to incorporate 

•Quality•Cost•Meaningful Use•Practice Improvement

•We Guess that MU will become a grade (0 – 100), not Pass/Fail

Meaningful Use – A word about Clinical Decision Support•Providers who attempt Meaningful Use are irritated by the obtuse CDS alerts incorporated in gEHRiMed™ • Currently, there is only a mandate to have 1 alert ‘activated’ for MU•gEHRiMed™ alerts are ‘recommended’ by ONC Experts for Adult Populations•There are no ‘recommended’ alerts pertinent to Geriatric Populations

•The new 2016 EHR Rules require that 5 CDS alerts be activated•We recognize this is an added burden•Alerts must relate to a relevant eCQM or Critical Health Issue•AMDA is considering rewriting its CPGs (clinical practice guidelines) to add quantified decision points and relate them to eCQMs.•Please support this effort if you talk to any AMDA staff or directors

Changes in PQRS rules for Group Practice Reporting Option (GPRO)•New for 2016 – Groups that Register for GPRO are not ‘locked‐in’ if they chose not to report via GRPO:•“under our proposal for the CY 2018 VM, in determining whether a group would be included in Category 1, we would consider whether the 50 percent threshold has been met regardless of whether the group registers for a PQRS GPRO. We believe this proposal would allow groups that register for a PQRS GPRO but fail as a group to meet the criteria to avoid the PQRS payment adjustment an additional opportunity for the quality data reported by individual EPs in the group to be taken into account for purposes of applying the CY 2018 VM.”•http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=CMS‐2015‐0081‐2290 (page 982‐983)

GPRO Flexibility Creates Valuable New Option•It is likely Measures Group Reporting will remain least burdensome for many medical groups.•GPRO registration creates the Option to use 9 Individual Measures –which may be valuable because:•eCQMs count as measures – groups trying for MU ‘kill 2 birds w/ 1 stone’•GPM is adding new eCQMs to gEHRiMed – and will update our ONC testing/certification during 2016

•GPRO Negative is need to use CAHPS for >100 EPs•GPRO applies to the entire group if 50% of all Medicare Part B patients are included (not a Per‐Provider test)•Allows a few group members to carry the load for the entire group (no penalty for hiring during Nov‐Dec, or for possible early departures.

High Level 2016 PQRS Participation Strategy•Measures Groups – still the best option for smaller/stable groups• GPM is Dropping Diabetes – too hard, not used by any practices in 2015•Updating CAD, HF and Dementia•Dementia now only requires 1 visit per patient

•Individual Measures – needed if GPRO is  your reporting method• GPM is reviewing current and new PQRS Measures for 2016.•Analyzing new measures that apply to LTC Medicine & Behavioral Health

2015 PQRS registry submission

•If you are reporting 9 individual measures – ensure you have 3 domains and a cross cutting measure for each provider.•Review your PQRS data, particularly performance rates, and consider the impact on your quality scores.  Remember a measure with a 0% performance rate will not be counted as satisfactorily reported. •Deadline to let us know which measures to submit for each provider is 2/1/16. Information on how to complete and submit PQRS Data submission forms will be provided in January. •Supporting documentation is important – CMS is beginning to do PQRS audits.

Null versus 0% Performance Rate ‐new insights!•Correction to November webinar and video resources:  All exclusion answers for a measure in a measures group will allow you to pass PQRS (e.g. the driving measure in the Dementia group) If the registry submits all performance exclusion quality‐data codes, the performance rate would be 0/0 (null) and the measure would be considered satisfactorily reported. Registry Reporting Made Simple ‐ Pg. 4

•Choosing all exclusion answers for individual measures (50% threshold reporting) is considered satisfactory reporting when using a registry. • 2015 Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS):  Registry Reporting Made Simple ‐ Pg. 3 – “Individual  measures with a 0% performance rate will not be counted as satisfactorily reported. The recommended clinical quality action must be performed on at least 1 patient for each individual measure reported. When a lower rate indicates better performance, such as Measure #1, a 0% performance rate will be counted as satisfactory reporting (100% performance rate would not be considered satisfactory reporting). Performance exclusion quality‐data codes are not counted in the performance denominator. If the registry submits all performance exclusion quality‐data codes, the performance rate would be 0/0 (null) and the measure would be considered satisfactorily reported.
